CHARLEVOIX — A 2-year-old child who was missing from a home in Charlevoix County's Hayes Township was found safe following a roughly two hour search today, Tuesday.

The Charlevoix County Sheriff's office called in a Michigan State Police K-9 trooper to assist with the search and was on the scene by 4:45 p.m. Charlevoix Ambulance and Charlevoix Township Fire Department crews were also called in to assist in the search.

When the child was found, crews from fire and ambulance departments in East Jordan and Boyne City were en-route to the scene and a Michigan State Police helicopter was also on its way from the Saginaw area.

Initial indications were that the boy was in good condition when he was found. Further details including where the boy was found and by whom were not immediately available. Charlevoix County Sheriff Chuck Vondra was not immediately available to independently confirm the details of the incident.

This incident is separate from another incident in the Oscoda area in which a 2-year-old girl was found safe around noon Tuesday after she disappeared from her family's campsite shortly after 8 a.m. Monday.
